Hi Have uploaded the build version and status now is approved, but this build is not showing under testflight previous builds, not able to install this version. Also when adding independent tester, error occured showing like bolow, retry not work. Anyone facing this problem ?

iPhone 12 pro with iOS 26.0 (23A5276f) App: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/wifiaware/building-peer-to-peer-apps We aim to use Wi-Fi Aware to establish file transfer between Android and Apple devices. Apple will act as the Publisher, and Android will act as the Subscriber. According to the pairing process outlined in the Wi-Fi Aware protocol (Figure 49 in the Wi-Fi Aware 4.0 specification), the three PASN Authentication frames have been successfully exchanged. Subsequently, Android sends the encrypted Follow-up PMF to Apple, but the Apple log shows: Failed to parse event. Please refer to the attached complete log. We request Apple to provide a solution. apple Log-20250808a.txt

This is a major issue. After my iPhone 12 Pro was upgraded to iOS 26 beta 6, Apple's official Wi-Fi Aware Sample APP crashed immediately and couldn't be opened. It just force closes. Has any developer encountered this problem?

Dear Apple： We encountered a problem when using the Wi-Fi connection feature. When calling the Wi-Fi connection interface NEHotspotConfigurationManager applyConfiguration, it fails probabilistically. After analyzing the air interface packets, it appears that the Apple device did not send the auth message. How should we locate this issue? Are there any points to pay attention to when calling the Wi-Fi connection interface? Thanks

Dear Apple： We are developing an app for file sharing between mobile devices. We want to create an iOS app that can continue sharing files with other devices even when it is running in the background. We are using WLAN channels for file sharing. Could you please advise on which background persistence measures we should use to ensure the iOS app can maintain file transfer when it goes to the background? Thank you.

Dear Apple: In our app, we will call the - (void) applyConfiguration:(NEHotspotConfiguration *) configuration completionHandler:(void (^)(NSError * error)) completionHandler; interface of NEHotspotConfigurationManager on Apple devices. However, we are encountering a problem where the connection to the 2.4G hotspot fails, and the error is nil when it fails. We checked the Wi-Fi air interface and found that the Apple phone does not send a probe request before connecting to the hotspot. However, we are unclear why the Apple device does not send the probe request frame. Could you please help us understand when the probe request frame is not sent during the hotspot connection and how to trigger it to send the probe request frame every time? Thank you.

Dear apple: Our app uses the BSD socket interface for socket communication over the local area network. However, when using the socket's connect interface, some iPhone devices fail, and the socket has also bound the local Wi-Fi card's IP using the bind interface. The errno is 65, indicating "no route." We have checked that the app has already requested local network permissions and permissions to use the local area network. The TCP server on the other end is also listening normally. Please help us see if any additional permissions need to be requested. Thank you

Recently, my application was having trouble connecting socket using TCP protocol after it was reinstalled. The cause of the problem was initially that I did not grant local network permissions when I reinstalled, I was aware of the problem, so socket connect interface worked fine after I granted permissions. However, the next time I repeat the previous operation, I also do not grant local network permissions, and then turn it back on in the Settings, and socket connect interfcae does not work properly (connect interface return errno 65, the system version and code have not changed). Fortunately, socket connect success after rebooting the phone, and more importantly, I was able to repeat the problem many times. So I want to know if the process between when I re-uninstall the app and deny local network permissions, and when I turn it back on in Settings, is that permissions have been granted normally, and not fake, and not required a reboot to reset something for socket coonnect to take effect.

Dear Apple: We are developing a file management-related app, and I would like to retrieve the list of files from the "Recents" section under "Favorites" in the Mac sidebar, then display this information in the app's interface for users. Is there an API available to obtain this information?

Dear Apple: We are developing a file management-related app, I want to configure com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-write to /Users/*** in the entitlements. Will this affect the approval process of our app on the App Store?

When using the NEHotspotConfigurationManager applyConfiguration interface for network connection, there is a certain probability of encountering the "Unable to join network" error. We captured the system logs when the issue occurred, some errors are due to the network not being scanned, while others are rejected by the system（console logs like:WCLScanManager scan is blocked by other system activity 32 or 9）. If there are any methods to optimize or avoid these errors?

After Apple-to-Apple pairing is completed, the paired device will be recorded in “Settings → Privacy & Security → Paired Devices”. However, after Android-to-Apple pairing is completed, the device is not saved to this list. Android device can be normally displayed on the Apple official Wi-Fi Aware Sample. However, the indicator is not green. During pairing, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingSetupSucceeded. During pairing verification, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingVerificationSucceed. My iPhone is iPhone 13， iOS 26.0 （23A5287g）

Our goal is to establish a Wi‑Fi Aware data path (NDP) between Apple and Android devices. Apple will act as the Publisher, and Android will act as the Subscriber. Apple-to-Android pairing has already been completed. The Android device can be normally displayed on the Apple official Wi-Fi Aware Sample. However, the indicator is not green. During pairing, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingSetupSucceeded. During pairing verification, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingVerificationSucceed. The Android side sends an NDP request to Apple (as shown in the figure 1), but Apple does not reply. Note: Qualcomm’s NDI and NMI are different. In addition, after Apple-to-Apple pairing is completed, the paired device will be recorded in “Settings → Privacy & Security → Paired Devices”. However, after Android-to-Apple pairing is completed, the device is not saved to this list. My iPhone model: iPhone 13, iOS 26.0 (23A5287g).

Please ask Apple to provide an interface for sending follow-ups like Samsung's WiFi Aware.

Title： iPhone 17 Wi-Fi connection via NEBOTspotConfigurationManager::applyConfiguration is significantly slower compared to other models Description： When using the NEBOTspotConfigurationManager::applyConfiguration API to connect to a Wi-Fi network, the connection process on iPhone 17 is extremely slow compared to other iPhone models. For example, in one test case: The API call to connect to Wi-Fi (LRA-AN00%6149%HonorConnect) was initiated at 16:16:29. However, the Association Request was not actually initiated until 16:16:58. During this ~29-second delay, the device appears to be scanning before starting the association process. This issue is specific to iPhone 17 — the same code and network environment do not exhibit this delay on other iPhone models. Steps to Reproduce: On an iPhone 17, call NEBOTspotConfigurationManager::applyConfiguration to connect to a known Wi-Fi network. Observe the timestamps between API invocation and the start of the Association Request. Compare with the same process on other iPhone models. Expected Result: The Association Request should start almost immediately after the API call, similar to other iPhone models. Actual Result: On iPhone 17, there is a ~29-second delay between API call and Association Request initiation, during which the device appears to be scanning. Impact: This delay affects user experience and connection performance when using programmatic Wi-Fi configuration on iPhone 17. Environment: Device: iPhone 17 iOS Version:26.0.1 API: NEBOTspotConfigurationManager::applyConfiguration Network: WPA2-Personal IOS.txt
